GOLDEN SECTION Vitruvius, in the 1st Century B.C., After studying Pompeii wall paintings, wrote in his

De Architectura The best point to place the main subject of a painting was at the golden inter-section.

This is at the intersection of a 3 to 2 ratio on the painting. When you are composing your image, place the main interest on the golden spot.
